What we've been up to. . . .

Well, truthfully, we've been BUSY to say the least. The summer flew by and we are now enjoying the beautiful fall weather (other than when it's raining). During the last couple months, we have moved into our new house, settled in (at least mostly), been working on the house, preparing for our newest addition, Jackson started preschool (which he LOVES), and Caleb's vocabulary is literally increasing almost every day! I am now 28 weeks pregnant and can't believe how quickly this pregnancy has flown by. Little Emily Marie will be here before we know it! The boys are actually both a little obsessed with babies right now, and are so excited about "Baby Emowee", as Jackson so fondly calls her. Jackson LOVES to kiss and hug my belly and Caleb now thinks there's a baby in his belly. What sweet boys! I can't believe how quickly my baby boy is turning into a little boy, nor how quickly my little boy is turning into a big boy (one of Jackson's favorite sayings these days is, "I do it my big, big self.")! Where does the time go?

We were so busy this summer, I believe this is the ONE time
we made it the splash park at the zoo.

"Don't forget to pack me!"

After we moved the sand table, this was all the sand
that was left.

We had a wedding reception to go to the same day we started moving our things to storage (we did this two Saturdays in a row), so Josh borrowed an AWESOME car from a friend of ours. He wanted a hot ride to take his wife out on the town. We all LOVED it! Jackson thought it was "Lightning McQueen" from the movie "Cars". So cute!

Jackson pointing out the white wall tires.
What a boy!

Smiling boys!!!

Caleb had surgery at the end of July to put in tubes.
Here, he's waiting for the nurse before surgery.
He was quite the character for it being so early in the morning.

So cute in his hospital gown, but NOT loving
the blood pressure cuff.

Reading over his post-op instructions.

Jackson was ALL smiles for his first day
of preschool!!!

Showing off his pearly whites
and his cool preschool bag.

SO EXCITED!

Showing off that he got to use Daddy's
special hair gel.

We took several pics since they were all sitting
nicely at the same time.
